How to change tab background on viewpagerindicator tabs?
- by user1736277
I am using ViewpagerIndicator library by Jake Wharton. I am using the tabs code in conjunction with the ActionBarSherlock library. Everything works fine, but I'm trying to style the background of the tabs and can't figure out how. I would like a dark action bar with dark tabs and light fragments (tab content).
The base theme I am using is Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar. I extend this style by making it the parent of a style that sets attributes for the tabs (like text color, indicator color, etc). This results in dark actionbar, light tabs, and light fragments.
I can't find anything that will change the background of the tabs themselves. The only way I can change it is by changing the whole app to dark (using Theme.Sherlock). Here's my code so far:
<style name="vpiTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">@style/CustomTabPageIndicator</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomTabPageIndicator" parent="Widget.TabPageIndicator">
<item name="android:textColor">#FF000000</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">6dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">6dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">16dip</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">16dip</item>
<item name="android:maxLines">2</item>
</style>
